Bourne Hall Country Hotel

"Family of 4. Two older children. We had such a great experience at this hotel. It’s lovely. The staff is their biggest asset. Helpful, friendly and welcoming. They took a really friendly approach, chatted to us and were so helpful and responsive when needed. The hotel is not fancy but it’s nice. It’s clean. It’s comfortable. The breakfast is good. Would return"

The Belmont

"Stayed for 1 night as I was working in the area. Linda and Des were wonderful attentive hosts. The hotel has a real family feel which makes sense being family operated. The room was spacious with a really comfy bed with lots of pillows. Really liked that they have plates and cutlery if you want to order a takeaway. Breakfast was good quality and freshly cooked. They even thought I left something behind in the infra red sauna and took it to where I was working on the island. It actually wasn't mine but the sentiment shows the kind of service Linda and Des offer. I'll stay here again when I'm next working in the area."

Braemar

"Had a great stay at The Braemar and now totally converted to the B&B way having been an avid camper for years! Claire & Boz are warm and welcoming as is the B&B itself - spotlessly clean, comfortable and ideally situated in the picturesque Shanklin Old Village."

Rylstone Manor

"Stayed for 4 nights, such a lovely period property and very welcoming hosts. Excellent location and very good breakfasts, lots of choice and best quality food cooked to perfection, especially the eggs, lovely orange yolks. Walking distance to local eating places and pubs."

Westbury Lodge

"This was our second visit to Westbury Lodge B&B, Shanklin. Isle of Wight. We travelled as foot passengers on the ferry from Portsmouth to Ryde Pier Head, then caught the train to Shanklin which takes about half an hour. Westbury Lodge is about a fifteen minute walk from the station. Upon arrival we were met by hosts David & Rosemary, shown our room and then had tea and coffee in the guest lounge. We stayed in room 2 on the ground floor for the second time, which is a thumbs up to the room itself. Breakfasts were excellent, plenty of everything. During our stay we walked along the esplanade to Sandown to the north and Ventnor and Steephill Cove to the south, where they sell crab pasties in the Crab Shed. An excellent find. Another walk later in the week was along the old railway line into Wroxall. The bus service is very good and you can get anywhere on the island without using a car. There are plenty of places to eat in Shanklin and Ventnor and you are spoilt for choice, one place in particular is the Ventnor Kitchen Bistro, for something a bit different. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Westbury Lodge and will return. Terry & Linda"

Waterfront Inn

"Heavy delusion This hotel can boast an excellent location, in front of the beautiful English Channel sea, with the beach just across the street. It has a lovely patio with tables, where to rest and have food and drinks. The service is quite basic and informal: bare tables, no table cloths, self serving with cutlery, plastic glasses. Food is average, but enjoyable. The staff is very young, some of them kind and helpful, some others nearly bothered by the inconvenience And now, down to the substantial issues: the place is an absolute pigsty. We had two standard rooms, a double and a twin, very compact and basic, with not even a table and a chair. My room overstending the kitchen, with complementary smells and noises, my friend’s overlooking the wall of the mountain above head, which made the room as dark as being in a cave. The rooms are extremely run-down and poorly maintained. The furniture and décor are outdated, and it is evident that little or no maintenance have been carried out for many years. The walls and ceiling are as this as paper, so that you hear every noise from above and nearby rooms Yet, what was very upsetting (and disgusting) was the unacceptable state of cleanliness of both rooms and of the entire hotel. A noticeable build-up of dirt and grime everywhere, it is evident that the place, and the rooms, haven’t been deep-cleaned in years. The first day, the housekeeping was not performed, so I asked whether it was included in the rate. They told me that for reason of hygiene, they don’t do housekeeping after the check in, unless required by the guest. Although I don’t understand this reason, as a matter of fact, no one informed us about this rule at the check in. However, on the third day the housekeeping was provided, on my request. Which means that the staff put new towels, emptied the bins, put clean cups, but didn’t remove the used towels and shower mat (they were left on the bathroom floor as they were), they didn’t even remake the bed and apparently didn’t made up the room properly. Last but not least, that same evening of the third and our last day, no hot water came from either the shower or the tap. We informed the staff the following morning, but they didn’t bat an eyelid. I would have expected at least a little reduction of the rate, given the discomfort caused by that inconvenience . Overall a very negative experience. I definitely suggest avoiding this hotel. It is absolutely overpriced for the level of comfort and maintenance provided. There are many better places. It’s preferable to spend a little more and have a cosy place, than this dump."
